LGMA Tackling Difficult Feedback Conversations Webinar (27 Oct 2026)

Tue, 27 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Tackling Difficult Feedback Conversations Webinar

Giving critical feedback which lands can be a challenge at the best of times. When that feedback is ‘difficult’ in that it is unexpected or there is disagreement about either the performance under discussion or the impact of it, the delivery is more critical, as is the potential impact of getting it wrong.

This session provides practical guidance on how to approach challenging performance conversations with clarity, empathy, and confidence. Learn how to give constructive feedback that encourages accountability and growth while maintaining respectful and professional relationships. Explore techniques for managing defensiveness, structuring your message, and navigating emotional reactions.

Audience: All local government officers who provide feedback to direct reports or, potentially, colleagues

Day/Date: Tuesday 27 October 2026

Time: 10:00am - 11:00am

Cost: Entry from $110.00 (GST inclusive) per person - available to all Council Officers

LGMA Men's Wellbeing Village Webinar (29 Oct 2026)

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Men's Wellbeing Village Webinar

The Men’s Wellbeing Village was established to support men working in local government. It provides opportunities to connect with colleagues, strengthen professional relationships, and build resilience.

Strong networks create safety, belonging, and personal growth. They help us face challenges with confidence and purpose.

This is your reminder: reach out, have the conversation, and stand alongside your peers. Together, we create healthier men and healthier communities.

Hear from guest speaker: Darius Boyd

Darius, a Gold Coast native, faced early challenges as an only child, coping with the loss of family members and his mother's depression. Seeking stability, he moved in with his grandmother and pursued a rugby league career with the Brisbane Broncos at 18. Despite success, mental health pressures led him to seek treatment at 27, sparking his advocacy journey.

Named Captain of the Broncos at 29, Darius became a leader in mental health awareness. After retiring at 33, he pursued higher education in mental health. Today, he uses his experiences to empower others, promote wellbeing, and break mental health stigmas.
